      Oceans

      Mar 15, 2019

      I used to be interested in mountains. They moved at a speed I could deal with. They waited for me to catch up. It was like that all my life. Then we moved to California, and after eight years of earthquakes I began to doubt my ability to put things i

      Paris Was Yesterday

      Mar 10, 2021

      THE lane between the farm and the village was still half underwater, so my husband, jabbed weeks ago, insisted on driving me to the village hall in his pickup truck. We loaded up like an old couple going on a day trip to the seaside, me with a Thermo

      The City Of Imminent Doom: Why The Coolest, Edgiest TV Shows And Books Are Set In Naples

      Sep 25, 2023

      It’s sometimes the fate of a single city to epitomise an era: Berlin in the 1920s, perhaps, or London in the 1960s. So which one would represent our own period of ecological anxiety, true crime and fake news? I’d wager it’s one you might not suspect:

      Ian Nairn and the Art of Seeing a City

      Jan 16, 2018

      It’s not easy to pigeonhole the late English writer Ian Nairn. But after reading his work—and I’ll be focusing here on Nairn’s Paris, originally published in 1968 and just reissued by Notting Hill Editions—you might rightly decide that there’s no nee

    • 3/5
      Uneven collection of short stories, spotlighting Paris' underbelly. Sex, drugs, mental illness and murder abound. A bit too noir for me.
    • 4/5
      I read about this series of noir books in a magazine and found this particular one in the library while I was nosing around in the mystery section. Paris Noir is not what one would consider traditional noir, but all of the stories certainly contained a noir undertone, although set in recent times. For example, 911, Brad Pitt, George Clooney and Ipod's are all mentioned. Each of the twelve stories takes place in a certain section of Paris, some at local cafes, others in train stations or dark and mysterious rues.The Chauffer- a man tries to save the love of his life, a badly beaten prostituteChristmas-a not so happy holiday season for two lovers arranging to meet in a neighborhood cafe, and what happens when a private detective happens to run into them.La Vie En Rose-a sad tale of an 18 year old and her unfufilled dreams.Didier Daeninckx- a reporter who tracks rumors on the internet and meets with an unfortunate end.Some of these stories are better than other, a few are very graphic, and a few were "out there" but I enjoyed them all. I will look for more books in this Noir series.
